The Western Power Distribution website has issued advice on anyone worried about power cuts during cold weather:

Know your free emergency numbers

In a power cut dial 105 or, for a gas emergency, dial 0800 111999.

Prepare your home

Keep a torch handy and get your appliances serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Vulnerable households can get extra support by signing up to the Priority Service Register.
